17 years have passed by fast
Feels like just yesterday I was just 5
Wanting to be a big kid
Wanting to be an adult
Now the time has come where I am that big kid
But it was not how I pictured it.
Along the way, encountering people that hurt me
Encountering people that used me
Encountering false friends
Makes a person think how does 17 years pass by fast
When there was many roadblocks
But the positive out ways the negatives
I met people that changed my life
I met people that have given me a different outlook on life
I met people that have cared about me
17 years of my life
I hope I made a difference to at least one person
A good difference
Something that will not be forgotten and stick with them for life
Knowing that will make me happy for using these 17 years to live
And that will keep me going till I die
